ADVERTISEMENTS

CDFreaks has reviewed engineering sample Plexeraser PX-OE100E. The PlexEraser is optical media eraser which destroys data on the optical disc using a laser in an environmental friendly manner. It can erase eight types of formats: CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW/DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL. It also destroys both 12cm and 8cm sizes. It takes, on average, 3 minutes to destroy CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and 6 minutes for dual layer (DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL). The drive can be used without a computer, all you need to do is connect the power supply to the Plexeraser and you are ready for the CD/DVD destroying mission. To prevent accidental destruction of the discs the drive features a bright orange tray (good idea otherwise people would end up destroying wrong discs).

The Data on the disc is destroyed over the complete length of the media. To make it visible that the destruction has succeeded, 3 circles are burned on the media afterwards. (see the image below)
